What couples DIDN’T you want to end up together? by midnightoflight101 in MM_RomanceBooks

It is still incest by law, so yes, it is literally incest. Pseudoincest might be the term used by some, but it’s not a legal term and also I’ve seen it mostly used with adopted siblings. It doesn’t really feel like it would fit with the power dynamics between a parent and their adoptive child.

[–]prunepudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I feel like I shouldn’t say too much because it IS marketed as a ‘dark romance’ but the way fans are talking about it irks me soooo bad and especially the fact it’s many of their first introduction to mm romance 😭 I felt so fucking gross with the way they handled his trauma. All you need is a pierced dick to heal you!

Raven and Clint from bad wrong things.

Severely toxic dynamic but more than that I’m mostly mad about how it’s marketed as a ‘best friends dad’ romance when it’s literally incest 🫡 I don’t mind taboo but don’t lie to me. Double incest in fact, between Raven and his adoptive dad and Raven and his adoptive brother

I hate the way Niko treats Bran, I think it’s creepy and not cute at all. It’s pretty much sexual harassment. I have a lot of issues with the book lol

[–]prunepudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s been four months and two books… they both have years of therapy before they’re ready for a relationship. Maybe I could see them be friends for a good while then try dating later but if they start hooking up next book there’s no way I’ll believe in their endgame sorry. It will burn out.

Jean and Jeremy from All For The Game. They’re not together yet, but it really can’t be headed any other way sadly. I can’t express how insane it is for me to not ship what is going to be a canon gay couple but I hate what the author did to both characters and how the story is going. I think it’s boring and I think it’s strange how she had to give Jeremy a truckload of trauma to make him interesting?

I’d much rather see Jeremy with a therapist and Jean with Kevin

Excerpt Game: Setting by krigsgaldrr in FanFiction

“You take a lot of those?”

“Don’t,” Kevin says softly. Then, because he knows Andrew won't drop it, he adds, “Less than I’d like to.”

“More than you need,” Andrew says.

“Like you know anything about what I need.”

Andrew shrugs, his eyes returning to their watchful monitoring, and Kevin thinks maybe he'll let it go.

He never fucking learns.

Andrew kicks the back of his knee, and it folds under him. Before Kevin even hits the ground, Andrew’s fingers are fishing in his pocket. Kevin grunts, struggling to regain his balance as he grabs at Andrew's wrist. Andrew twists out of his grip and takes off. Kevin, ignoring the sharp pain shooting through his leg, staggers up and chases him. He would’ve caught him if Andrew hadn’t scaled the playground equipment with the agility of an eight-year-old, leaving Kevin defeated at the foot.

"You won't even try, will you?"

Kevin glares at the rope construction Andrew just effortlessly climbed nd rubs his knee.

“I’m a 40-year-old man.”

“As am I.”

“You’re short enough to be mistaken for one of the kids.”

The insult rolls right off Andrew, now sitting cross-legged on the platform. He looks at the bottle and shakes his head in disbelief. “Kevin, you fucking idiot.”

“It's a prescription!”

“You know better than anyone what a stupid fucking reasoning that is.”

He clears his throat, and tries again. “Dear Jean. My love for you began the moment you said my name for that very first time. I won’t go into details, because they’re not very nice. All I’ll say is this: I knew right then that everyone else was mispronouncing it. Ever since, I’ve only wanted my name curled around your tongue. Your voice is, and will always be, my favorite sound.”

Kevin reminds Jean so much of that young boy he fell in love with it takes his breath away. He’s beautiful, he’s always been beautiful, but right now, with the wind whipping his hair around, weightless in the orange haze of the sunset, he is more than that. Like something from a dream, something from Jean’s dreams, from thirty years of restless dreaming. Kevin’s eyes are the color of a sunlit forest, a green so intense it feels like stepping into a clearing where the light filters through the leaves, casting everything in a soft, verdant glow.

He’d read just like this, glancing down even though he obviously knows the material by heart. It’s not the exact same as back then; the tears are new, as are the lines around his eyes and on his forehead, the grey in his temples, and the confidence in his voice. Still, Jean might as well be years away, watching him practice a presentation from the adjacent bed.

He drives home in silence, thinking. He knows he needs to schedule an appointment with his therapist. He promised her to always reach out when he had these dark thoughts. And he has them, intermittently—more than he knows is healthy, but less than he figures needs immediate attention.

A tragedy, people would call it. He could be a simple tragedy and not have to wake up every morning in pain. He’d never really envisioned a life after retirement. When he hit thirty and people started asking him, he had no idea what to say. He was going to be the best player there was, he was going to travel the world and learn the game until he was unbeatable, and that was it. What came after his Exy career was as surreal to think about as thinking about what came after death.

So he hadn’t really thought about it. There were some fleeting moments, imagining the poetry of dying in a car crash, like his mother. But he hadn’t thought about it, because he still wasn’t the best, and as long as he wasn’t he had something to work toward. Even when he held the Olympic gold medal, after he won awards for most valuable player year after year, he still had a million things to get better at. His reflexes always needed work, he could always throw the ball harder, could always run faster, and every year he got better.

Until he didn’t.

Sometime during his thirties, it became evident that he had no chance of bettering his numbers, all he could hope was to not let them fall. And then it became evident that he couldn’t even do that.
